Fernando Garcia
Making Purple, 1986
Neon
Okechobee Station
Okechobee Road and Hialeah Expressway

Fernando Garcia took a fundamental law of colors, combining red and blue, and made it art. Making Purple combines 108 pieces of blue and red neon which alternately fade and brighten every 30 seconds to make purple. Three skylights at the station house the tubes of red and blue neon.
